Hi. We are coming from the UK in summer. I want to book experiences like droid building and possibly the Animal Kingdom safari but can’t do so on the UK site. What’s the best way to make sure I don’t miss reservations that are in demand? Thanks!

Hello and welcome to planDisney, Susan!

We are happy to have you here and help you plan a pixie-dusted holiday at the Walt Disney World Resort. Summer is my favorite time of the year to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth, and I cannot wait for you to experience all the fun that awaits you!

I recommend that Guests visiting from the United Kingdom try booking Enchanting Extras Collection experiences, including animal encounters like Starlight Safari at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and immersive experiences like Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers by phoning Tours, Recreation. Unfortunately, as you know, reservations are currently unavailable on the United Kingdom website. You are also welcome to try booking both experiences via the My Disney Experience mobile app, however, as a fellow international Guest, it is my personal experience that the app will often redirect you to your country’s Walt Disney World website.

You can begin booking these experiences up to 60 days before your visit. If you are staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you can start making reservations for your entire length of stay (for up to a 10-night stay) up to 60 days before your check-in date. To try making reservations via the My Disney Experience app, please open the app on your mobile device, tap the search icon at the bottom of the screen, search for the experiences you wish to book, and tap Check Availability. These experiences are very popular, so I highly recommend making reservations as soon as your booking window opens (subject to availability).

I hope this helps you while planning, Susan. Come back to visit us if you have additional questions, we are delighted to help!

Best magical wishes,
Thiana
